Research direction
Investigate the existing store interface in fastify rate limit, specifically how the Redis store is implemented. Look at the fastify valkey glide package to see how it provides customCommand. Then modify the store to accept Valkey as an option, using customCommand instead of defineCommand. Check the repository's contributing guidelines and existing tests for guidance.
